NOTES IN THE EYE.
A Very Simple anG Successful Way OF Re-
moving Them.
IChIcarn .InnrnaIl

In conversation some time ago with q
Chicago oculst / got some useful informa-
tion about getting railroad cinders aud
,ther notes out Of the eye, which, as I
have put it into successful practice myself,
think is too good 20 keep. He said--as
every one knows, perhaps-that the inner
surface Of the eyelids are ridged in such
a way as to promote the moving of small
particles toward the inner corners Of the
eyes, where the duct opens which leads
into the nose. This is the particular fact
on which his advice is based, and which
also shows the extreme folly of the meth
DDS usually adop.ei TO extract cin-
ders from the eye. This method is
10 double up the forefnger and
gouge into the afflicted eye until
1t is red rs a beet and suffused with
tears. Some horrible contortions OF the
countenarce are thrown In, as IL TO assist.
Now, the only effect that such course
can have is to grind the cinders into tho
corrugaticns of the eyelid and keep IL
there for week until the Inflammation
subsidies. The proper way 10 do is TO
catch up the eyelid by the skin and pull II
away from the cye-ball gently and re-
peatedly. This not only instantly relieves
the pain, but promotes the shifting Of the
cinder in the right direction. In almost
every case this will be found speedy and
painless remedy. For my part, havs
found il to work so well that have often
got cinders into my eyes purposely, when
travelling on railroad trains. just for tbs
fun Of getting them out and showing other
people how to do IL.

WANT little cottage brown,
To nestle meath a gentle hill;

Iwant to hear its varied song,
Its daughters loud or murmurs long.
Iwant a chain of palings bright
To circle round my verdant ground

Where little sun-dressed fish are found.
Iwant some morning-glory blooms
To feast the bees when daylight comes.
Iwant some trees before the door,
To gather GOODNESS on the grass,
Meath which to lie when heat may pour,
And catch the breezes as they pass
Above, L want to hear the leaves
Smite velvet palms when zephyr breathes.
want some birds among the green
To scatter music round the door
want the mock-bird there to sing,
Each day surprising that before.
want some books to keep my mind
Above the cares that cloy and blind.
want some little children, too,
To romp and play and scale my knee,
Through whose wide eyes to catch view

Dear ones, whose tender feet lead near

dozen stores besides the BIZ. theater. up-
stairs there are 80 rooms. In tbess 800
rooms there are 15J tenants, sub-letting
rooms or desks 10 others. Among the oc-
cupan;s are seventy mine lawyers, eight
cen doctors. five dentists and so on. Dur
ing one day last wee's s,010 people used
the four elevators. Altogether there are
in this one building rioretb thousand
tensnts an employees, equal to the busi-
ness and professional population Of town
of 5000 people. Each of two or three of
the largest OF the new Office buildings now
under the workmen's hands in this cf Y

How to sweep.

Sweep with p long, steady stroke taking
care to form habit Of raising broom at
the end of the stroke in such way as TO
prevent dust raising. Watch some women
sweep as if they were digging; small
cloud Of dust will follow the end of the
broom every time it is raised. BE careful
to go into every corner with the end of your
corner broom, and to brush all dust from
between carpet or mating and sliirtug
board, as here is where moths love to har,
Dor. Sweep from all sides of The room to
the centre. Fhis sweeping to lhc centre,
instead of the door, may strike some read
crs rs an innovation; but, if they will con
slider moment, they will see that there is
no reason whatever for dragging the dust
all over the room. Sweeping toward the
centre of 1G feet square roOm you only
sweep the dust eight feet cHch way, instead
OF carrying it before the broom The W hole
IL feet. Short, quick strokes of the broom
are apt to scatter the dust, especially when
the stroke ends with an upward Jerk, as I
have often Spcn it do when the broom is in
the hands of vigorous girls who imagine
they arc getting over the ground much
more rapidly by hurried movements than
they would if they took greater pains But
hurry IS not speed some women are uuicl;
and thorough, others slow and thorough,
but the one always hurrying is rarely either
quick or thorough; she makes work all the
time she is doing it.

Information About the Pecan Tree.

COLUMBIA, S. c., January II, 1887.
EDITOR OF RECORD: In reply to Mr. b.
+. ii. and many others whose inquiries in
regard to the pecan tree you have referred
to me to answer, | think the following will
about cover the ground in general way:
Hon. pr0pagated? BY planting the nut
the ordinary pecan nut of ccmmercc-and
by budding or grating. They grow read
lily from the nut, but. owing t. the dcprc-
dations OF the wood rat, il is almost impos-
sible to get stand; besides, the trees would
be as likely as not to yield thick ghcllctl
nuts of poor quality and of little or 40
value. Nursery trees that have been Sc
lectcd from the best, largest and earliest
bearing varieties can be trAnsplantcd about
as successfully as any fruit tree of the same
age, ana can be procured ut u very mod
crate figure.
Hind Gf soils The tree is Of the same
genus as the hickory and will flourish any
where the hickory grows. They will thrive
in almost any soil with little attention, but
much better results will be obtained when
planted in rich soil and we'll cultivated and
manured. Rich bottoms, if not too wet,
are excellent; but several trees noted for
Their large size and immense crops of fine
nuts are growing III elevated places and
have received very little care.
}lW Mey 0Tot0 IN this cHmatc? Mr. w:
B. Jones, in an article to the 1me1fcan
A9ricuIturlSt says: I'VE recommend the
culture OF this tree very highly, as being
likely TO prove profitable from the Potomac
and Ohio rivers southwark" The few that
haye been cultivated in this State and Gcor-

OF which he gathered "clcvcn bushels and

Mr. Il. Y. Munson, of Dennison, Texas,
says he values well grown trees of good
kinds, 10 years old, at &25. An acre (48(
OF such trees would be worth G1 2G0."
There are fine specimens OF Che tree
growing in almost all the Southern States.
from Virginia to Texas which FREQUENTLY
bear fifteen bushels of fine nuts per tree.
